There is a certain glow that only vintage pressed glass can achieve—a depth of color and light that feels alive. This Imperial Glass pedestal compote carries that unmistakable presence, rendered in a rich avocado green that shifts beautifully as light moves across its surface. Every angle reveals layered geometry: radiating starbursts, diamond panels, and delicate scalloped edges that speak to both precision and artistry.
Crafted by the Imperial Glass Company during the mid-20th century, this piece reflects a time when everyday objects were elevated into functional works of art. The hobstar and daisy-and-button motifs create a visual rhythm that feels celebratory yet refined, while the elevated pedestal gives the bowl a commanding sense of balance and stature.
Whether styled as a centerpiece, used to present fruit or confections, or displayed as a standalone collectible, this compote brings unmistakable mid-century charm into any space. It is substantial, beautifully proportioned, and designed to be noticed—an heirloom-quality accent that bridges nostalgia and timeless elegance.
